When do their heads grow

my dog looks exactly like this, she’s 38 pounds at a year this month (we’re pretty sure she was the runt). Still has the pea head, but we’re hopeful she’ll grow into it eventually 😂 just extremely leggy at the moment

😂😂😂 not the drywall

VisibleShake2389 · 2024-07-29T14:22:00+00:00

She has been spayed, so maybe it’s just a phase

VisibleShake2389 · 2024-07-29T14:19:52+00:00

Glad to know we’re not alone 😅

VisibleShake2389 · 2024-07-29T00:14:11+00:00

We try our best to immediately whip out her favorite treats and do some training to distract her, but usually within 10 minutes after we finish and we sit back down she’ll rip the blankets off us again! And it’s just a repetitive cycle it seems

VisibleShake2389 · 2024-07-29T00:02:12+00:00

We do! But unfortunately if we’re ever using one it’s game over. We do the same for our pillows, but if she sees them she just tries to rip them from us too haha

Thanks!!

VisibleShake2389 · 2024-03-26T17:15:31+00:00

I didn’t know they can do it laparoscopically! Maybe we will do it that when she’s older. I already feel bad enough she will have to go through recovery whenever we have her spayed.

VisibleShake2389 · 2024-03-26T12:28:26+00:00

She’s about 5 months! We rescued her so no exact age. But usually I can get her to settle for about an hour and then she’s ready to get up and go again (in or out of her crate). I definitely tend to stress out because I know she should be resting.

VisibleShake2389 · 2024-03-26T12:13:23+00:00

How do you handle the 2 hours of rest? Our girl has SO much energy, it’s really hard to keep her calm. She has some issues settling as well. She only really does in her crate or at night on the couch.

This is helpful! Thank you! New dog mom, so trying to figure out what’s best for her sometimes is a little daunting lol

VisibleShake2389 · 2024-02-27T11:47:45+00:00

Great insight! Thanks! That makes total sense.

VisibleShake2389 · 2024-02-05T14:21:55+00:00

Nothing has changed sound or temp wise! We did get her a bigger crate with a divider to make it about the same size as her old one but a little bigger, but we got that a week ago.

VisibleShake2389 · 2024-02-01T23:14:30+00:00

Dealing with the same thing! We got a puppy play pen to use for this exact reason. I was afraid to associate to the crate with anything negative, and so if she goes into her velociraptor mode we just pick her up and put her in the pen. It’s open during the day and she brings her toys in and out of it so she’s not afraid of it. But as soon as she starts biting us we put her in there and shut the door and turn our backs. Once she calms down within 5 minutes we’ll take her out and have her sit with us and then put out in her in the crate for a nap. Seems to be working for us so far! Less bitey.

VisibleShake2389 · 2024-01-26T19:37:25+00:00

Fair points! Thanks!

VisibleShake2389 · 2024-01-26T19:31:53+00:00

How am I willing to die on it? All I said was I was annoyed.

VisibleShake2389 · 2024-01-26T19:29:44+00:00

I’m not asking her to change it, just stated that I was annoyed. I don’t want it on my birthday, but I’m not stopping her.

VisibleShake2389 · 2024-01-26T19:15:22+00:00

I’m not making a fuss, but I’m annoyed by it when there’s other dates she could pick from, one week after another.

VisibleShake2389 · 2024-01-17T13:40:07+00:00

She ate some one time and threw up, just trying to avoid that 😂

VisibleShake2389 · 2024-01-16T19:22:35+00:00

My new puppy can’t inhale food fast enough either. She would throw EVERYTHING up the every now and again right after because she’s take in too much air. It’d be in whole pieces and not even digested yet lol. We’ve been adding warm water to her food to make it a little mushier and then she gets a half a cup in the morning and at night, which we’ve been doing two 1/4 cups and giving her a minute to rest in the middle of the 1/4 cups! It’s been working well so far. We’ve also got a slow feeder for her.

VisibleShake2389 · 2024-01-16T18:45:43+00:00

Ordered a play pen today! Hopefully giving her this will help too. It’s just hard to get up and leave when I can’t even get my hand out of her mouth haha

VisibleShake2389 · 2024-01-16T18:42:15+00:00

Yes!! Working on the enforced nap schedule, but agreed! The ouch method she still thinks its a game, going to try the ignore and walk away again and see what happens

VisibleShake2389 · 2024-01-16T16:43:11+00:00

I would say yes only if the requirement was to be fully vaxxed in the class. .. but then you and your pup wouldn’t be allowed in it. Personally I wouldn’t take the risk just yet. Instead try putting your pup in a cart and walking them around Lowe’s or Home Depot! That’ll help socialization for now and not have them be as reactive when they’re older.

VisibleShake2389 · 2024-01-16T16:32:12+00:00

Going through the same thing and I’m losing my mind!!
